Good job!

A good way to make better casting is some baby powder in the mold ;)

really? i never heard of that will that be bad for the plastic curing?

and i wont be making another cast until tomorrow because i just realized i have a midterm test tomorrow i never studied for.

Very nice, I have to say you did an amazing job! One of the best molded handplates & shins I've seen. ;)

BTW, don't forget with alil heat you can work out the spot were it fell, I had to do that with my original helmet mold pulls. :cool:

No the pulls you take out, not the silicone mold itself. apply mild heat to the area with a heatgun or hair dryer. As the plastic gets soft you can push it back into place, when it cools back down it will be solid again. Remember MILD heat.

Edit: Though if your mother mold is a plastic type you should be able to fix it there too, but your mother mold is a plaster type yes? what did you use?
